Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
find_stations_near_address | Find the nearest facilities to a US street address |
find_stations_near_coordinates | Same, but from a lat/lng (skips geocoding) |
get_station | Full record for one facility by ID |
list_stations | List/search facilities by type, state, name, or ZIP |
get_jurisdiction | Which city and county contain a location |

Examples
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:
"What's the closest fire station to 350 Fifth Ave, New York?"
"How many hospitals are in Montana, and which have trauma centers?"
"I'm building an emergency-response app — find every police and fire station within 5 miles of downtown Austin."
The assistant calls the matching tool and gets structured JSON back — addresses, phone numbers, coordinates, and for hospitals, beds, trauma level, and ownership.
